[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 1089, member: 109"] Hi All, I've got a 20 inch front rim and 19 inch rear, the front tyre is currently a Dunlop MR2 300 by 20 (looks very old to me, the rubber looks perished/fatigued and the sidewall is cracking) and the rear looks new on the bike when I got it 1600 miles ago, Dunlop Gold Seal K70 350 by 19 - but it says NYLON on it - I remember those from my early Japanese days - didn't do too well in the wet!! Has anyone got a suggestion on what I should think of replacing them with - I don't want to change the rims thanks? I plan to do circa 2500 miles per year, mostly nice A and B roads, 50 - 70 mph and I would sacrifice lengevity for additional grip any day of the week. Also then, where should I go to get them from? Recommendations hoped for and welcome. Many thanks Stuart [/QUOTE]
